Low Carb Hatch Chile Cream Soup With Just 3.2 Net Carbs. From Restlesschipotle.com

I love soup. If I was single and childless no doubt most of my meals would consist of a steaming bowl of soup. It just speaks comfort to the center of my being. As it is we have soup meals as often as I can get away with making them.?Cream soups are near and dear to my heart. I definitely won’t turn down a bowl of piping hot minestrone full of vegetables but cream soups are my favorite. They’re just so rich and satisfying!

This Hatch chile cream soup is the best of the best. It’s rich and thick with a smooth texture that cozies up to your tongue and coats your throat… at first. Then comes that slow burn like a purr of satisfaction, intensifying for a minutes and then fading away.

It’s Heaven, y’all.

A generous amount of cumin adds that earthy flavor that every southwestern food aficionado craves. Garlic and onion are simmered in for flavor then a little cream cheese is melted in for texture and a little tang. I kept the calories down by using cauliflower to thicken it and cashew milk to add volume.

THEN I topped it with some shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a dusting of smoked paprika. It was perfection. I say it was perfection because I ate some then my son in law took the rest home. ?He isn’t even on low carb! It’s really that good.

I use unsweetened cashew milk because it only has 1 carb per cup while almond milk has 3 and I just prefer the flavor. If you want to use almond milk go right ahead, just figure in the extra couple of carbs. If you are not into big, bold flavors that make you sweat you can use mild Hatch chiles or poblano peppers.

    So I first saw this recipe in the Spring and saved it because it was already too warm for soup. Finally got my chance to make it today and it was worth the wait. Just fantastic. I wound up using a bag of frozen cauliflower that I steamed because I forgot to pick some up over the weekend and I might just use frozen going forward to save time and avoid a mess. Thanks for a great recipe.
